As title states, what's your opinion. I'm getting my front tinted for $65.

I almost bought a g6 but the gas mileage on that thing is horrible not to mention the interior size and fit and finish

Oops, sorry, title's a bit misleading. I stuck with the Camry, and since it's Gen6, I shortened it to G6 w/out thinking of Pontiac's.

I have Johnson Greystone 20%. I think 20% is a good compromise between darkness and functionality. I've driven cars with limo and while they look good they're a b!tch to see out of at night. 35% is too light in my opinion.

Here is a pic of mine with 35% tint all around. It's all personal preference, but I was going for a consistent/elegant look.

How much did you get that hood deflector for? Looks nice on mag. grey.

Alloy, I wasn't able to get my tints done because the shop's tinter couldn't make it. I was pissed, but the shop offered me another 15% discount, so I stopped complaining after that

Thanks - I don't recall exactly as it was all part of my deal at the time of purchase, but I believe it was no more than a couple hundred bucks installed at the dealer. I also like it because it compliments the colour of the OEM window visors and ties in nicely with the tint.

Gen6

Nice ride Wetherburner!~
Try to go to the Wal-Mart for the hood deflector, I used to saw them cheap (somewhere around $65 CAD), but they mostly for domastic car. I wonder if they have import car hood deflectors...
